Spring Snow

Nowhere to be

Found this early
Ski planned morning
Disappointed sets in
Rattled, upset, cheated
By last night's snowfall
Forecast by cable's
Weekend weatherman

Working at scale
Unable to ski weekends
This was his therapeutic
Revenge hitting back
At skier's eagerness and
Fervor for the slopes
  Promising heavy snowfall
For all local ski resorts

Tonight's low he
Declared will bring
Heavy snowfall by
Morning's early light
Relishing in anticipation
His x-girlfriend's love for
The ski slopes, keeping
Them distant and apart.

Anticipating

A great new year full

Of promises, never

To be kept, in a world

Unable to defeat

Corruption's will

 A world controlled

By a mighty few

Armed in numbered

Accounts, feeding 

War's might against

All those who oppose

Distorting gospels truth 

Hyperbolizing goodwill's

Intent, while satisfying

And empowering their 

Hunger games appetite

Happy New Year!

Edwin James

A New Dawn

Breaking
Crying out
Just like yesterday
A hellish carbon copy
Lurking behind
A cracked facade
Painted in delirium
Deprived of semblance,
Harmony, world peace
Searing in hatred
Courting heartless
Applause

Runaway hopes
Scorned, defaced
Betrayed, cry out
Like the morning dawn
Seeking faith's light
  Resurrecting prophecies
Sacred and undaunted
Devoid from all
Suffering, pain
Poverty, hunger and
Contempt while
A surly carpetbagger
Is re-selling dawns early
Early crusading light.

Mystic Bowls 

Whisper resonating

In A turning into

F sounds shifting

To E then G are

Close behind

C and D now

Reverberate through
His deep subconsciousness

An overdue life changing

Healing session
Is now well underway

Vibrations from his

Soul increases while

Listening to the 

Frequencies uplifting

Rhythmic flows liking

To none ever felt

His mind relaxed

Drifting wondering

Relaxed confident

This gentle mindfullness

Leads to a deep

Spiritual awakening

A gift from those

Who came before

Unassuming always
There.

I Could Hear

A blue jay singing
Caressing my blues away

Uplifting my wildest

Dreams, remembering

Greek goddess Moira's

Psalm, a gospel held close

By Time eternal, not always

Understood or believed

Where heart's inner faith
Is treasured, protected by

Universe's nourishing womb
And caring loving light

Embarking on a new

Journey, whistling away

Harmonizing, left 
Wondering, enamored 

By this blue jay
Blues.

Edwin James

...

Turning Winds

Dawn breaking

The coast line ebbing

Rippling water washes

Over her swollen feet

Tearing anguish rolls

From her brown eyes

Life's fate has just
Taught her a lesson

With hope no longer
In reach promises 
Meaningless her mind
Crashing wave-less

She closes her eyes
Then opens them to
A golden horizon
And simply let's go.

Edwin James


...

400 Miles Away

From the past

A measure never truly

Realized keeps her

Sorrow at bay

Cold and lost

She knows what

She did can

Never be undone

She moves over

To a park swing

Singing her

Guilt away

"I never said

That I loved you

Or could ever wed
My heart dark and blue"

Her essence unwilling

Unable to realize love .
